Ken Martz, Psy.D. MBA. is a licensed psychologist, best-selling author, and renowned keynote speaker.
He has worked in the treatment and management of mental health, addiction (including gambling) for the past 30 years across a range of settings and business environments. He was formerly the Special Assistant to the Secretary for the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Policy Director in Substance Use Disorders of the Governor’s Policy Office. He is currently the President of the Pennsylvania Association of Addictions Professionals and owner of Lionheart Therapy Solutions.

Dr. Martz has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University. He has authored a dozen publications, six bestsellers, including the international bestseller Manage My Emotions, translated into multiple languages. He has over 100 local, national, and international keynote and other presentations in the business, addiction, and mental health fields.

Dr. Ken Martz’ talks don’t just inform, they recalibrate how people think, feel, and perform under pressure. Audiences gain practical tools to regulate anxiety in real time, interrupt unhelpful emotional patterns, and respond with clarity instead of reactivity. Dr. Martz translates neuroscience and psychology into usable strategies leaders, clinicians, and professionals can apply the very next day through conversations, decision-making, conflict, and high-stakes moments. Participants consistently report increased emotional confidence, improved communication, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of control over stress that once felt overwhelming. The deeper transformation is internal: people leave more grounded, more self-aware, and more capable of leading themselves, and others, with depth of knowledge, confidence, and calm authority rather than sheer force.
